Lu Zhou said, “I’ll think of a way to destroy it after all of you have arrived at the nine domains.”
“Master is wise,” Si Wuya said.
Lu Zhou turned around and said, “What’s the second plan?”
Si Wuya smiled before he said, “If the Skynet Map can’t stop the usage of the runic passages and master can’t find Ming Xin, he will definitely come and look for me. At that time, I’ll help him rebuild the Great Void.”
Lu Zhou: “???”
“This is because he will definitely fail,” Si Wuya said.
“Why are you so confident?” Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
“You’ll know when the time comes,” Si Wuya said, deliberately keeping his master in suspense.
Lu Zhou frowned. “Hm?”
Si Wuya bowed and said, “Please forgive me, master.”
Seeing Si Wuya’s confidence, Lu Zhou was worried Si Wuya would make the same mistake and let his confidence cloud his judgment. Hence, he said with a sigh, “It’s not that I don’t trust you. However, this matter is too important. We can’t afford to make the slightest mistake at all.”
“I understand,” Si Wuya said. He remained silent as he observed his master’s expression. He thought about it for a moment before he said seriously, “I’ve already died once so I’m no longer afraid of death. During those years in the Lost Kingdom, I’ve thought through many things. In life, there’s nothing absolute. I just hope that when I face difficulties, I’ll be able to do my best and not be burdened by the pain of being helpless and powerless to do anything. Even if I fail, I won’t have any regrets.” He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “There were countless tribes and clans born in the Unknown Land, and yet, many were turned to dust with the passage of time. The Feather tribe used their flesh and blood to stop the sky from falling. Even if they failed, they had done their best. Let alone humans, even ants want to survive.”
Lu Zhou could see that Si Wuya had improved a lot compared to before.
Everyone in the world could distrust Si Wuya, but Lu Zhou could not distrust Si Wuya. In this vast world, there were only a few people Si Wuya could rely on, and Lu Zhou was one of them. In fact, Lu Zhou was the only one his ten disciples could rely on.
Lu Zhou looked outside the main hall. After a long time, he finally said, “Go ahead and do as you planned…”
…
Night fell.
The nine domains and the Unknown Land were not peaceful at all.
The Great Void continued to shake, causing huge rocks to fall from time to time.
The commotion in the Unknown Land did not stop at all.
As for the Great Void, mountains collapsed as countless buildings were destroyed.
The commotion lasted the entire night.
…
The next morning.
Meng Changdong, the Guardian of the Evil Sky Pavilion, came to the eastern pavilion. He said, “Pavilion Master, I just received news that another two pillars have collapsed. Countless fierce beasts and cultivators in the Great Void lost their lives as a result. Apart from that, Mr. Seventh, Mr, Eighth, and Miss Tenth have arrived at the black lotus domain, yellow lotus domain, and green lotus domain respectively.”
Lu Zhou’s voice rang from inside. “Alright.”
Meng Changdong continued to say, “The war between the human alliance, the fierce beasts, and the stubborn cultivators from the Great Void has intensified. Should the Evil Sky Pavilion make a move?”
“After the sky falls, there’ll be light. The Evil Sky Pavilion doesn’t need to make a move.”
“Understood,” Meng Changdong said before he left.
…
Inside the eastern pavilion.
Lu Zhou looked at the Skynet Map and sighed. He knew it was time to destroy the map. He raised his right hand and pressed it lightly against the map. The blue divine Dao power covered the map immediately.
Suddenly, images appeared in his mind. He saw the Great Maelstrom, the churning water, and the endless power of the law.
Lu Zhou’s hand trembled as he slightly raised it. He muttered to himself, “The Skynet Map is from the Great Maelstrom as well?”
In the depths of the Great Maelstrom, he had seen the door that led to nowhere. Despite its name, he could reach any place in the world with that door.
Lu Zhou had no recollection of a lot of things. The disorder of time and space left him with fragmented and disjointed memories.
After a moment, Lu Zhou pressed his hand down again. The divine Dao power quickly shrouded the Skynet Map.
Swoosh!
In just a moment, blue flames began to burn the Skynet Map.
Lu Zhou saw the lines on the Skynet Map flickering. Like flowing rivers, they seemed to flow from the Unknown Land to the nine domains until they completely dimmed and disappeared.
…
At the same time, the Endless Ocean surged violently.
The Great Maelstrom churned until water splashed up to the sky.
They only calmed down after an unknown amount of time had passed.
…
Lu Zhou looked at the empty space in front of him. The Skynet Map had already disappeared.
“It’s done?” Lu Zhou was slightly skeptical.
Lu Zhou quickly heightened his senses and mobilized his Primal Qi, confirming the flow of Primal Qi was normal. Then, he brought a talisman out and contacted Si Wuya. As soon as Si Wuya appeared, he informed Si Wuya about what happened.
Si Wuya said curiously, “I guess the Skynet Map didn’t have the power to block all the Primal Qi in the world…”
As soon as Si Wuya’s words fell, Meng Changdong, who had just left the eastern pavilion, hurried over. He said, “Reporting to the Pavilion Master. There’s news from the east that there’s a huge tsunami in the Endless Ocean. 300 miles of the eastern coastline has been submerged…”
‘Tsunami? Does this have something to do with the Skynet Map?’ Lu Zho wondered as he asked, “Are there any other unusual movements?”
“The sea beasts are even more violent now. The human alliance has no choice but to split their forces to prevent the sea beasts from invading,” Meng Changdong replied.
Lu Zhou looked at Si Wuya in the projection and asked, “How’s the black lotus domain?”
Si Wuya replied with a smile, “Please rest assured, master. Xiao Yunhe and Xia Zhengrong of the Black Tower Council have already put aside their differences and are working together to deal with the fierce beasts.”
“Alright.”
At this moment, the only runemaster in the Evil Sky Pavilion came to the eastern pavilion as well.
“Pavilion Master, Zhao Hongfu has something to report.”
“Speak.”
“After the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction collapsed, I noticed the runic passages have been weakening. This phenomenon is getting more and more serious. Just now… It seems like they’ve weakened greatly. I feel that something is strange so I came to report it,” Zhao Hongfu said.
“The runic passages have weakened greatly?” Lu Zhou asked. He used two fingers and drew a few strokes in the air.
Golden runes appeared in the air, but they only appeared briefly before they disappeared.
Indeed, it seemed like the runes were already weakening.
Lu Zhou used the divine Dao power and drew a few runes again.
The blue runes lasted about three times longer than the golden runes. He could maintain them, but they were much weaker.
Si Wuya said happily, “As expected!”
“Although the runes are weakening, you still have to be careful,” Lu Zhou said to Si Wuya. Then, he looked outside and said, “I’ll leave the golden lotus domain to all of you.”
“Understood. We won’t let you down,” Meng Changdong and Zhao Hongfu said with a bow.
Lu Zhou waved his hand, cutting off the projection.
Bam!
Following that, the door of the eastern pavilion slammed open.
Meng Changdong and Zhao Hongfu saw a streak of light shot into the sky and flying toward the east. They said, “Safe journey, Pavilion Master.”
…
The Tower of Heaven in the Sacred Region.
“Hm?”
Ming Xin, who was hovering in the air, suddenly opened his eyes. He raised his right hand and began to draw in the air.
Runes after runes appeared and formed a circle in the air. Unfortunately, they only lasted a few breaths before they began to weaken.
Ming Xin muttered to himself, “This day has finally come…” Then, he turned slightly and said through voice transmission, “Guan Jiu.”
Guan Jiu replied respectfully, “Your Majesty, what are your orders?”
“What’s the progress?”
“Your Majesty, eight of the ten Pillars of Destruction have collapsed. We’ve already caused the one at the Great Abyss Land to collapse ahead of time according to your orders. As for the remaining two pillars, they’ll collapse at most in a month,” Guan Jiu replied.
“As long as the pillars remain standing, the sky cannot be rebuilt. A month is too long,” Ming Xin said.
“I understand.”
Ming Xin flashed and reappeared high above the Sacred Region. He looked around before he brought out two red talismans with crooked patterns on them. He ignited them and tossed them up.
After the talismans burned, a huge rune fell on the ground.
At the same time, a huge ripple of light appeared on Ming Xin’s body and spread across the Sacred Region with the Tower of Heaven in the center.
At this time, all the cultivators in the Sacred Region kneeled on the ground and cried out, “The Sacred Region will live forever! Your Majesty will live forever!”
The cultivators’ voices were thunderous, resounding in the Sacred Region.
Guan Jiu raised his head slightly and looked at the top of the Tower of Heaven with a thoughtful expression on his face.
At the same time, Ming Xin turned into a shooting star and disappeared into the sky.
